LAWRENCE RICHARDSON, Plaintiff, v. THE STATE OF NEW YORK; THE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION, Defendants.
ORDER OF DISMISSAL
LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN CHIEF UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
By order dated May 19, 2021, the Court granted Plaintiff leave to file an amended complaint within sixty days. That order specified that failure to comply would result in dismissal of the complaint for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. Plaintiff has not filed an amended complaint. Accordingly, the complaint is dismissed for failure to state a claim on which relief may be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B)(ii).
The Clerk of Court is directed to mail a copy of this order to Plaintiff and note service on the docket. The Court certifies under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith, and therefore in forma pauperis status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. Cf. Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438, 444-45 (1962) (holding that an appellant demonstrates good faith when he seeks review of a nonfrivolous issue).
SO ORDERED.
